The Dietary Supplement Ingredient Database (DSID) is developed and maintained by USDA's Nutrient Data Laboratory and Office of Dietary Supplements at NIH. The first data release reporting statistically‐based analytical content estimates for 18 nutrients in adult MVMs is available at www.dsid.usda.nih.gov . The DSID children's MVM study is based on statistical sampling plans identifying representative products with multiple lots chemically analyzed. This study includes 21 commonly reported and 45 lower market‐share children's MVM products with various matrices, including chewable tablets (71%), gummies (17%), and others (12%). Data results for vitamins and minerals in children's MVM products compared to labeled values, considering multiple serving sizes on labels for different target age groups, have been determined. Preliminary analytical results showed a positive mean % difference compared to label for 12 nutrients evaluated. The mean % difference for six of the nutrients (iron, phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, copper, riboflavin) was <10% of label. The mean % difference for three nutrients (vitamin B12, calcium, vitamin E) was 10–20% above label. For three nutrients (manganese, vitamin B6, selenium) the mean % difference from label was >20%. The children's MVM final data results, including variability parameters, will be released in the second data release, DSID‐2. Funding: ARS/USDA & ODS/NIH.
